When you make money blogging, you’re aiming to attract traffic from the search engines, so you can make money when your visitors click on ads, or buy affiliate products.

Oddly enough, when you’re getting search engine traffic, you don’t necessarily want any regular readers.

This seems counter-intuitive.

However, as 100 Blog Posts Week 3 Update reports:

“Guys, regular visitors do not click ads and never will. If you think I’m doing this because my ‘readers’ are clicking ads, you obviously don’t understand the game. Searchers are the ones who will click ads and if you want to get ad clicks, you have to draw the searchers.”

So when you’re blogging for money, the search engines are your friends. Ensure that you use the keywords which will make you the most income.

Blogging makes a great home business

Many bloggers blog full time in their blogging home business, and earn a great income – much more than they could earn at a job.

Discover how you can make money blogging, with Angela Booth’s blogging bestseller, Blogging for Dollars – blogging is fun, and profitable.

Want to make money blogging? Here’s a secret: create more blogs. One blog is rarely enough; the more blogs you have, the more money you’ll make.

Professional bloggers have many blogs. Some may have five or 10 blogs, others have a couple of hundred. Why all this frantic activity? This is because in today’s ultra-competitive climate, blogs need to be super-targeted to get readers and to make money.

Unfortunately setting up blogs takes time. You can set up a Wordpress blog in minutes using the Fantastico script, but there’s more to setting up a blog than that. You need to install all the plug-ins you need too. It’s possible to spend several hours in setting up a simple blog, before you’ve even started to add content.

I struggled with setting up new blogs, and always put it off as long as I could. This meant that I was losing money until I discovered Firepow.

Firepow is an amazing blogging environment. Telling you about everything this brilliant program does would take a book, rather than an article, so I’ll just tell you about the three of the features I enjoy most, and also about a pitfall I found with the program.

Great Feature # 1. Install a Gorgeous Wordpress Blog in Less Than Five Minutes

These days, I know that installing a new Wordpress blog will take me less than five minutes: the blog and all the plugins (dozens of them) I want are installed by Firepow. I can get an idea for a new blog, and have the blog operational faster than I’d ever have believed possible.

If Firepow just installed blogs, I’d be happy, but of course there’s much more.

Great Feature # 2. Add Content Simply and Easily

With Firepow, blog content is a snap. Much of the content can be added to your blogs automatically by other bloggers in the Firepow network. When you want to add your own content, you can quickly add YouTube videos and images at a click.

Great Feature # 3. Get Great Backlinks to Your Blogs

I’m a backlink slacker; chances are you are, too. If you’ve been online for any time at all, you know that getting links to sites is one of the most boring activities in the world. With Firepow, you can relax, not only does Firepow get links for you automatically, you can add links at the rate you choose.

The Pitfall: Trying to Do Too Much Too Quickly — Create a Plan

Once you’re using Firepow, there’s a great chance you’ll try to do too much. After all, when it’s so easy to set up blogs, you can create several a day. All those new blogs add up. You’ll get confused and paralyzed with indecision about what to do next.

Of course Firepow’s thought of that, too. You can end your confusion with Firepow’s Tasks and Task Plans feature, creating overall plans for all your blogs, and specific plans for each blog.

Firepow isn’t for everyone. It’s for committed bloggers, who either want to make money blogging, or who are already making money, but know that with the right tool, they could be making more. Try Firepow; I know you’ll love it.

A blog takes time, but what if you could blog just 28 words to make money? Mini blogging is a new trend online. Discover how to make this form of marketing work for you.

There are several different mini blogging applications you can use; Twitter is one of them. I admit, when I first discovered Twitter I thought it was a waste of time, but lately it’s become one of my favorite marketing tools.

Warning: Mini Blogging Is Not Direct Marketing

The mini blogging tools are a form of social media; they keep you in touch with your friends. This means that using them as a direct marketing tool, by twittering items like “Buy this [link]” for example, will ensure that no one pays attention to you.

Since these are SOCIAL tools, use Twitter to make friends first. Then your marketing will be a natural extension of your social activities.

How to Use Twitter for Marketing

Since you can’t market directly from Twitter, you need a Web site or blog to share your marketing endeavors. Don’t be concerned if you don’t already have a site. Build your relationships on Twitter, and when your site is ready, you can Twitter about your work on the site, to provide an immediate flow of traffic.

Once you have a Web site, link the site to Twitter by going to the Settings tab on Twitter, and adding your URL to the More Info URL field, and pressing the Save button. Now your site is accessible directly from your Twitter Profile. Anyone who want to learn more about you, can access your site.

Then just continue to add items to Twitter. If you’re promoting a new product in affiliate marketing for example, tell your Twitter friends about it. But lots of fun social messages too.

The big benefit of Twitter is the social network you develop, and the constant and increasing flow of traffic to your Web site which develops from this. As your Twitter followers increase – and the people you’re following increase too, your network and traffic grows. With more traffic, the make your mini blogging activities generate grows too.
